Job description

Family Solicitor / Fee Earner, Alfreton, Quality Work, Established Caseload & Dedicated Support

The Firm

An established and growing regional law firm is looking to recruit a Family Solicitor or experienced Family Fee Earner to join its Alfreton office.

The firm has a strong presence across the region and combines the personal, client-focused approach of a traditional high-street practice with the resources and support of a larger, multi-office organisation.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to join a well-established Family department, with an existing caseload, dedicated administrative support and the autonomy to manage their own matters.

The Role

• Managing an established caseload of privately funded family matters.
• Handling divorce, separation, financial remedy proceedings and private children matters.
• Advising clients from initial instruction through to the conclusion of their cases.
• Managing matters independently, with dedicated one-to-one legal assistant support.
• Drafting legal documentation, negotiating settlements and liaising with Counsel where appropriate.
• Working within a supportive team with opportunities for continued professional development.

Are you currently managing a busy Family caseload but finding that a lack of administrative support is taking too much time away from your fee-earning work?

This position offers the opportunity to concentrate on your clients and cases, with dedicated assistance available.

You

• Qualified Solicitor or experienced Family Fee Earner with a background in privately funded family law.
• Experience handling divorce, financial remedy and private children matters.
• Comfortable managing a caseload independently.
• Strong communication and client care skills.
• A practical, approachable and commercially minded attitude.

Pperhaps you're working within a smaller practice and would welcome the resources of a larger firm without losing the personal working environment you enjoy?

Benefits

• Dedicated one-to-one legal assistant support.
• 25 days' annual leave.
• Bonus scheme.
• Pension scheme.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities.
